Make an ISO of the CD with readcd or something like that.  Search for the
following signature on in the ISO.  EB3C90  If the rest of the bytes after
this look like a boot sector, copy 167FFF bytes from EB on and put them in
an image.  If it doesn't look like a boot sector, then search again.

I found my boot image at offset 0x6D8800 in the ISO image.  I found quit a
bit of 0xEB3C90 signatures as well as a bunch of valid FAT12 boot sectors.
However, there were FAT32 boot sectors right after them, and not a floppy
disk image.  I would try the offset I found mine at first.  I would imagine
it's a standard location, but I can't be sure.

Subject: Boot image ?


I have an existing bootable CD and I need to change a couple of files. But
I can't find an image of the bootable diskette, that seems to be used for
El Toritto boot.

Is it somehow possible to extract the image from the CD (if one is not
available as file)?
